Rhondda Rotary

A fantastic effort from all the groups involved, 13 of them across both valleys.

Dementia Friends Ambassador, Alison, has been busy collaborating with local businesses to produce 100 forget me nots to display in Rhondda Fach and Rhondda Fawr during last month and throughout the in June.

We think they look fantastic!

Alison said: “Over the last few weeks I have collaborated with Chris Williams, Workers Gallery Ynyshir and Martyn Lyons, President of Rhondda Rotary Club, to produce the forget me nots. Chris has designed and cut out the forget me nots and I glued all the bits together! Rhondda Rotary has financed the project via their dementia fund.

"The aim is to display them in various venues. In Ynyshir we collaborated with the local British Legion Branch to display them on the war memorial railings. They look absolutely fabulous. We also scaled some lampposts in the village.

"There are lots of different groups in the Rhondda who are displaying them, including community centres and local chapels!”

The weather was much better than at the first Car Boot Sale back in April.

Thanks to everyone who helped out on the stall.

Thanks to the Friends of the Workers Gallery for making the Forget me Nots. Rhondda Rotary distributed them to multiple organisations in the Rhondda Fach & Fawr. Thanks to those organisations for stepping up.

We've made 100 forget-me-nots which will be going up throughout the Rhondda for Dementia Action Week 18th to 24th May.

By the planter just before you leave the Rhondda over the Rhigos. I think that makes 100 Forget me nots bringing awareness to Demmentia Action Week
